FLANNER HOUSE MAPS PROGRAM FOR EXPANSION

New Building Included in ‘Nebulous Plans’; 41st Year Noted.

Plans for a new Flanner House to replace the present structure at 802 N. West St., were outlined last night by Frank B. Flanner, president of the 41-year-old social gervice agency for Negroes. Presiding at a founders’ day dinner in the Central Y. W. C. A,, Mr. Flanner said that the expansion would be based on a study of the] heeds of Negre residents in the city | which has been carried on by the organization for more than a year. The study was financed by a $4000 grant by the Indianapolis Foundation in 1938. Louis E. Evans, member of the board of directors, said that plans for the new structure were still “nebulous” and that no estimates | had been prepared yet of the size of the building or its cost. Part of the funds, he indicated, would be raisea through voluntary donations.

Elliott Is Speaker

“The needs filled by Flanner House are more than an Indianapolis or even an Indiana problem; they are an American issue,” Dr. Edward C. Elliott, Purdue University president and principal speaker at the dinner, said. “You can't have a democracy that is made up of idle men, women and children, There must be homes, work, health and hope for all. Democracy nee.s co-operation of all under the leadership of the wisest. | The Flanner House is a democratic institution.” Cleo W. Blackburn, superintendent | of Flanner House, pointed to the] study prepared for the needs for the new structure as a basis to build on in the years to come.

‘Principles Are Unchanged’

“In spite of the fact the Flanner House is 41 vears old and its techniques have changed, the underlying principles still are the same,” he said. According to a financial state-| ment made at the meeting, $29,437.68 was disbursed by the agency in the | fiscal year ending Oct. 31. In that time, employment was found for 2164 persons. A total of 815 took advantage of the educational fa¢ilities. The-day nursery, nursery gchool and toy library were used by 311 children, Advice of skilled counsellors was given to 5166. Findings of the study for the new Flanner House indicated that the Negroes form a migratory class, coming largely from the South; most of them are employed in unskilled or servant groups at a small wage; about half of the group is on some sort of relief or is unemployed; the group is deficient in’ educational and cultural background.

Aims outlined for Flanner House Kenneth and Dale. sisters, Mus.

Stout, and Misses Elizabeth, Marion, Mon- | ors: tice, and Annabelle Perry. N

were: | 1. Education for living in a modern, metropolitan community. 2. Vocational training to enable a largely rural group to earn its living

tribution. 3. Leadership training to enable the group to assume a larger responsibility for its own welfare,

tinued when Albert Schlensker, former secretary to Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey, resigned. The new publication carries citations from Chief Morrissey of several officers for outstanding study and general news of the department. The editors promise to make special mention of the officer who | files the most complete report each { month, : Patrolmen Honored

Youth Rescues Family's Christmas Plans by Recovering Purse.

By FRANK WIDNER A happy Christmas is ahead for | Mrs. Goldie Tapp, her ailing husband and a son at the State School for the Deaf because a 17-year-old Boy Scout did his daily good turn. Last Monday Mrs. Tapp, who lives at 225 N. Gray St., drove her car away from her home, It ran out |of gasoline. Obtaining fuel from a| {nearby filling station, she placed | her purse containing $15 on the fen|der of the car while filling the tank { Forgetting to pick up the purse, Mrs. Tapp drove away and did not discover the loss until she was a | block away from the station,

( Mrs, Hazel Slider, president of the

Her hopes for a family Christmas dinner were gone. But Mrs. Tapp was mistaken. Ralph DeMoss, a Life Scout of) Troop No. 30, returning home from classes at Tech High School, where he is a senior, saw the purse lying| {in the street. He took it home. His| parents, Mr. and Mrs. Guy DeMoss, were gone, and Ralph had to be at) work at a nearby ice cream parlor. | He left the purse home where his] mother found it when she returned. | Through Mrs. Tapp's driver's li-| |cense, the parents located the owner. |

[Ralph's father went to return the

| purse, but left it with Mrs. Tapp’s|.

| mother as the owner was not home, Yesterday, Mrs. Tapp came to the DeMoss home: to thank the boy and reward him. Ralph was at school.

Insists on Reward

“You don’t know how I appreciate this,”. Mrs. Tapp told Ralph's mother, “She was so grateful,” Mrs. DeMoss said. “She insisted on leaving | Ralph a reward, but I knew my boy (wouldn't take it. He is going to return the money tonight,” she said. Ralph, who has been a Scout five vears, wants to be a radio engineer. {His interest in that line of work came from his association with a friend who has an amateur sending set. Mr. and Mrs. DeMoss and the boy's brother and sister, Joanne, 11, (and Jack, 9, are mighty proud of { Ralph, but the boy doesn’t say much {about it. | “I don’t suppose he even men[tioned it to anyone,” Mrs. DeMoss said.
